Library Notes Week of January 11

It is that time of year again. Time to think about doing your taxes. If you need a form we have some of the basic forms and a few publications. Anything we don’t have you can access on-line at http://www.irs.gov/. Come in and use our computers if you don’t have one at home, we would be happy to help you.

Be sure to check the new book shelf next time you are in. Here are a few titles you might want to check out.

A Change in Altitude by Anita Shreve. Margaret and Patrick have been married just a few months when they set off on what they hope will be a great adventure-a year living in Kenya. Margaret quickly realizes there is a great deal she doesn't know about the complex mores of her new home, and about her own husband.

Paris Vendetta by Steve Berry. Danish billionaire Henrik Thorvaldsen, a friend of Malone's, has become consumed with finding out who masterminded the slaughter outside a Mexico City courthouse two years earlier that killed seven people, including his young diplomat son. Once he learns that a wealthy British aristocrat was behind the outrage, Thorvaldsen gets entangled in a conspiracy that involves an elite group of ruthless financial experts planning to destabilize the global economy, a terrorist plot to destroy a European landmark, and a legendary cache hidden by Napoleon. Malone soon finds himself in a desperate struggle to save not only Thorvaldsen's life but the lives of countless innocents as well.

A Cousin’s Prayer by Wanda Brunstetter. Katie Miller is traumatized after her boyfriend is killed in a van in which she was also a passenger.
